Chocolate-Peanut Butter Moon Pies
Best Dessert: Rebekah Turshen models her moon pies on the classic Southern cookies, but also on Goo-Goo Clusters, a peanut candy. She spreads crispy sugar cookies with chocolate and peanut butter, then sandwiches them around a marshmallow filling.
I swear summer isn’t over and I’m going to keep the grilling going far into the fall!
Welcome to the Post-Marinade Era of Grilling
Forget about marinades, at least on the grill.
That may sound like backyard apostasy, since common knowledge holds that grilling and marinating go together like … well, fill in your favorite eternal twosome here. You can’t open a cookbook or look at a restaurant menu without seeing them paired.
It may be due at least partly to the fact that a “tequila marinated grilled flank steak” sounds more enticing that just a plain old steak. But there’s also a well-rehearsed rationale for the partnership.
Marinating, it’s said, not only adds flavor and moisture that will stay with the food through the rigors of the grilling process, but also tenderizes whatever you’re about to put over the coals.
My gps says I’m above “Yoder”…wonder what staye that’s in.

OMG…completely hysterical. What in the world is going on with chefs with their hands/arms in fish?!?!?!?
Are Chefs With Dead Fish the New Chefs With Dead Pigs?
On the cover of this month’s issue of UK-based Observer Food Monthly, Brazilian chef Alex Atala (of D.O.M. in Sao Paulo, ranked #6 in the world) can be seen with his hands inside a fish. In the cover story, writer Allan Jenkins spends six days with Atala on the Amazon river, where they eat indigenous foods and discuss the state of Brazilian cuisine. The story also includes a photo of Atala with a dead fish draped over his shoulders. It seems like Atala and Observer Food Monthly aren’t the only ones who think chefs with dead fish make for strong cover art.
The cover of NYC chef Paul Liebrandt’s upcoming book To the Bone shows the chef with an arm inside a fish. Clarkson Potter editor-at-large Francis Lam notes over Twitter that arms in fish is “the look of the season.” In the grand history of chefs posing with food, this new fish pose — Eater is calling this the “Fish Glove“ — seems inspired by previous trends of chefs wearing food. Past iterations include the “I’m Wearing Food” pose and the “Hold-A-Pig” pose. Which chefs will be photographed with their hands inside fishes next? Only time will tell whether the Fish Glove is the new Hold-A-Pig.
OMG - coffee is going to kill me!!! :)
Maybe Coffee Will Kill Us After All
A new study offers further proof that coffee research is schizophrenic.
Your memory will get better. It will kill you. You won’t commit suicide. It will kill you. You might not get Alzheimer’s. It will kill you. You might not get a stroke. It will kill you.
Tracking scientific research on coffee consumption is to subject oneself to peaks and dips more dramatic than any caffeine rush and crash. Apparently, the medical profession can’t decide if coffee is going to save or ruin us all.
The latest research is decidedly in the later camp: Drinking more than four cups a day puts you at 56 percent greater risk of death “from all causes,” is how The Guardian sums up the new study published by the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Although the chocolate covered nuts cost $10, I thonk its a lot cheaper tuan if I went down to lobby and ordered dessert + a drink. #LazyTraveler (at Shangri-La Toronto)
